A good Yo-Yo always comes back

A good Yo-Yo always comes back

Yo-Yo-Ma Q’ed a workout similar to this during one of my first posts at Skunk Works some 15 months ago. YHC thought it was terrible enough to make a come back, and with Yo-Yo-Ma making limited posts since his first child was born, YHC took the liberty of pilfering a solid weinke.  Of course YHC made a few tweaks to the original, but the pattern and pain remained.

Moleskine:

YHC believes it was Les Mis with the build your own KB this morning.  Not sure how many plates he had on that thing, but Brown was ready for a rename to the Ghost of Christmas Past with all that metal rattling around.  After we got into the first round everyone was too gassed to offer up much commentary on the workout.  Mostly just grunting.

YHC may have been a bit too aggressive on the weinke, I had to modify the exercises on the 2nd round because there was no way I was getting through what I wrote without spilling merlot #ifyoucan’tdoit,don’tQit.  I threw out the offer to whoever wanted to stay late and finish the Weinke but had no takers.

Next week be there for the Area 51 tradition:  12 Days of Skunk.  Chanel is the Q.  It’s an awful early Christmas present that you will be feeling well past Christmas dinner.  Not sure if Tiger Rag will be making an appearance.  He has been busy sculpting those pencil arms and sunken chest over at Swift.

This is also my 2nd straight Q at Skunk Works where the site Q Harley doesn’t post.  Starting to take offense.  I put deodorant on this morning.

Props to Header and Bulldog for a pre-5k this morning and Freedom for rucking in with his KB.

Thanks to Busch for the send off.  Always inspiring.
